You can go home again, if PRETTY PEACHES 2 means anything. Alex de Renzy returns to a property ten years after it made such a historic splash in the porn world (pun intended) and delivers another outlandish entertainment.
Perhaps it is because he didn't try to top himself that he succeeded. No need to go to the extreme of perhaps the cinema's most popularizing enema sequence ever (and I include the competition from Shaun Costello's creepy WATER POWER), that helped immortalize Desiree Cousteau in the first film.
Title role here goes to Siobhan Hunter, the cute actress who never became a superstar but did contribute some good performances amidst the dross inevitable with her coming of age in the Video era. But stealing center stage is Tracey Adams, playing her mom.
Storyline is intentionally silly, as De Renzy is at his best with loosey-goosey antics rather than sustained plotting - I have always thought of him in the same vein as his contemporary Robert Downey Sr. (PUTNEY SWOPE; GREASER'S PALACE).
Some of the memorable notions and sex scenes include Tracey servicing Peter North, after she thinks he's a burglar, forces him to strip and diagnoses that he has a case of "Lover's Nuts", "engorged with fluid", which is relieved by his subsequent copious money shot.
As with the Cousteau film, the humor derives from the innocence of the teen title character, not a Candide, but more like Playboy's Little Annie Fanny cartoon. De Renzy is the cinema's master of the visualized dirty joke, though in current movies the mainstream artists like the Farrelly Bros., Judd Apatow and many pretenders have co-opted this field from the pornographers.
There's a lengthy and self-indulgent sequence in San Francisco where Jamie Gillis in drag plays the matriarch of a hippie family (Peaches gets hired as a maid), involving incest and other shenanigans. Subplot of Peaches' divorced parents Adams and Herschel Savage rushing to her rescue is less than scintillating.
Things escalate for Peaches as Ron Jeremy pops up as a Vietnam War vet and unlikely uncle to Herschel; Ron gets to have anal sex with step-niece Peaches, and she is introduced to lesbian sex by Melissa Melendez immediately afterward. "It's all a dream" ending is a drag, but it was fun getting there.
Movie was shot on film which is a great plus, and not surprisingly won key industry awards -which are an unreliable (to say the least) barometer of quality but do represent popularity contests and the prominence of the participants - not unlike the phony-baloney Golden Globes. Third entry in the series has Adams returning but is not in the league of the earlier ones.
